Even though it's an update day, ULTI-MAN - and my main tumblr, BECKMANIMATION MINI are blacked out for the rest of the day. Sopa is gone, but Pipa is still trying.
If anything like this were to pass, it would probably be illegal for me to make the ultimate man comics, because he is obviously a derivative of Ultraman.

My comic is hosted on tumblr, and today they are giving the option to black out your tumblr today. It's very easy to do, and if any of you have a tumblr I suggest you do the same. It's only for 24 hours._________________

I'm not sure if SOPA and PIPA are meant ultimately as serious legislation or merely as a scare tactic. Whether it passes or not, people will now think twice about doing anything that SOPA and PIPA would consider "infringement" just in case it does pass someday. Sometimes merely talking about a potential law can provide more psychological advantages than actually passing it. The internet has changed, though slightly, simply because this was discussed and hyped so much. It may not be a law, but it's very likely already altering the behavior of many people._________________Ed Womack
